Obscura - Septuagint on fretless bass

[TheDeathStar1990]

That is a nice bass what is it?

[tylerwylie]

@TheDeathStar1990 Warwick Thumb 6 Fretless.

[charlesandhisworld]

Man, amazing. Especially cos you tabbed it by ear.

[boffa994]

I enjoy your videos. Would love to see you do a song by Spawn of possession, Prostitute Disfigurement, Devourment, or Defeated Sanity.

[ishowedittoher]

How long did it take you to do this all by ear? Fucking awesome.

[kimberlykuramaattori]

My favorite part from 3:09 - 3:21

[spaaten1000]

i always thought "how the hell hes playing with 4 fingers picking?!" now i see its only 3 ^^ i ever thought im too dumb for playing with 4 0o

[FoxEnyuron]

@spaaten1000 That... or your pinkie finger isn't the same size as your other fingers... Like most humans...

[blackseedsofvengance]

I find myself keep going back to 3:08 to watch that over and over again. 

[ps3t]

Awesome!

[ThrasherGuitarist667]

Do a Ouroboros cover! Obscura is one of my FAV band and Ouroboros is alot alike. you should check out there song "dissolve" its some fat slap. I think you would like it

[zigot13]

×_× so gooood.....

[givemeajackson]

lol @ the description. I DO NOT HAVE TABS!!! i kinda expected that xD

[fallingindrive]

Watch the tuning! Great cover!

[bonegrindtribe]

@CannibalisticZombie is this d standard tuning?

[derlagokoira]

no do a cynic cover!

[fatoujonny2]

Yeah it's very clever to ask tabs for a fretless...

[WaRrIoRaLeX95]

@fatoujonny2 still have the dots on the side..

[fatoujonny2]

@WaRrIoRaLeX95 for him ? i have doubt

[WaRrIoRaLeX95]

@fatoujonny2 its pretty rare a fretless bass with no dots on the side...

[ZANDRUMS13]

hey I like to have a bass player like you in my band, you really are very brutal greetings from Colombia brother

[Metempsukhosis]

DEADSEA is the SHIT! see them all the time in Mansfield!

[JoeGoreBass]

When Vortex Omnivium? >.<

[Zyborggian]

Dude WTF U HAVE 69 VIDEOS!!!! EPIC AWESOME!!!!! XDDD

[Neuroneos]

@Zyborggian Grow up

[Methaflux]

One of the best Bass-works I've seen on YouTube. if not the best. Awesome work!

[ElvenefrisAflame]

Nice work with the solo, it sounds like you nailed it. Keep it up \m/

[MrMonster37]

Hey quick question, how many bass guitars do you have? I've seen you play a lot of them

[turock777]

How would you read tabs for a fretless instrument?

[MrMetallicious]

@turock777

The exact same way.

[vukstanovcic]

i noticed minor flaws, but a great cover nonetheless. and it's a fact that you played the solo better than Linus did in the introducing video. and that thumb is a fucking mastodon of basses.

[spfpinha]

can u tell me what strings do u use?

[ThatDrummer5992]

You sir are a magician... You're fingertips are still there by the end. Great song

[dethameg]

do a beyond creation cover!

i would love to see omnipresent of coextisance

[sniperbunnystreetsk8]

holy shit! this was fucking amazing, man. saw obscura back in july, great show. and that bass is a beast :D

[ruhiology]

amazing fretless bass tone....

[Mechansus]

I seriously can't believe it! The part at 3:07 is just so fucknig dead on perfect! Your such a great bass player and in my eyes just about the next Alex Webster Haha ;)

[sixthgatebass]

unreal intonation on the chords, good shit

[BirdsOfParadigm]

FOR GOD'S SAKE, HOW CAN YOU DO ALL THIS ALL BY EAR...

[markoshel]

FUCKING AWESOME!! and Done by ear?? Are you fucking kidding me?? haha 

[CrazyVochl]

kinda hilarious that i know Obscura from Your Anticosmic Overload cover and love them by now xD

[heavymetalstew]

amazing, hail from canada. keep it brutal

[deathcoreskater]

as alwayse, ur covers are flwless, keep it up

[ThoughtPatternss]

So, I saw that Jazzman hovering around Decrescent's Facebook page... any possibility of hearing it sometime soon? :O

[wapraeb]

here is a guestion: what do you think of the actual bassist of Obscura? in my oppinion he's ok but the band doesn;t have the same feel, for me at least. Wanna hear your oppinion :)

[infiniteDeathmetal]

once again... AMAZING man!

[AndRezMzn]

You have Talent, and a lot, keep up with music, you will be GREAT

[CannibalPanda7]

Brilliant!!!

[gloriaIshtar]

beautiful

[McTacoKingHutJr]

I've never heard anybody record a low B or A string and have it come through so audibly... bravo.

[ElvenefrisAflame]

@McTacoKingHutJr It's called compression

[Ironclaw666]

Ever considered trying some Coroner? Would be awesome if you could pull of the bass to some of their monstrous instrumentals!

[MrMrFreddy]

In 10 years, I hope I'll become this good

[xxcannibalxchristian]

beautiful man

[ZurabMelua]

Damn, your fretless skills have improved indeed!

[alpedistas1]

man, a fretless warwick 6 strings, that should cost to you your balls

[BEtwinME]

Good job, but there are too many dissonances, the fretless bass requires more precision.

[EvisceratingYou]

Dude. You totally fit as a bassist. Blank expression, and just chilling.

Metal Forever \m/

[WhySoBass]

Hey, How do you stay so brutal?

[reet12337]

You're really good ok??

[robs70986987]

awesome as always man!

Playing any Chicago shows soon?

[TheMetalKid9]

6 String Fretless Warwick. The most beautiful site on the earth

[Chopperboy94]

This is amazing \m/ how long have you been playing bass?

[necro1143]

wow i got to say that is really good fret less basses r even harder to play i give you a 10 out of 10

[MrMrFreddy]

Amazing as always, god damn it... I hope that in 15years I'll be as good as you (I started 3 months ago xD)

[jeroen0011]

Ha this is amazing! :)

[BlokMonster]

Yes, covering a song from "Human" would be amazing!

[blackheart103]

Would you ever do a cover oh Ohrwurm?

[megadeth668]

@blackheart103 I agree. All of Cephalic Carnage later stuff with the new bassist would be right up his alley.

[Dehumanizer606]

you are the reason i gave up bass...i saw how shitty i was and stopped, lol...now i play guitar, but still, incredible playing, dude...almost inhuman

[assholymomo1]

YOU ARE GOD



[Samu308]

You should do some Blotted Science covers dude!

BTW awesome cover. Congrats

[smaragdboa]

if someone dislikes this video now im going to cry

[deth2christ666]

can you believe that Yngwie Malmsteen once said that the bass on "The Philosopher" was the worst sounding bass he'd ever heard? Gene Hoglan actually told me that when i met him a few weeks ago at a Pearl drums clinic.

[AlexcoldTomsk]

awesome!

dude, you make fuckin great covers

respect!

[CATFISHSWAG]

watch his right hand... i feel so sorry for your girlfriend.. send her my condolences.

[Zyborggian]

FIIIIIINNNNAAAALLLLLLYYYYYYY

Dude..... Ive practically been fucking praying for this video

[MstrRed]

3:05 is just a real beautiful masterpiece

[Klasharx3x]

@MstrRed TOTALLY AGREE BROTHER, ITS BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Bassbait]

Brutal stuff. I'm going to be opening for Obscura in a week or two.

Also, you ought to cover a Death song off of Human. With the recent "drum and bass tracks", it'll give you a great opportunity to figure out what Steve plays, and I'd personally LOVE to see you rip on a song like "Together as One".

Would you do that?

[LyricsArFun]

@Bassbait Awesome idea man! And congrats for opening Obscura

[DMB169]

watching your videos not only inspires me to be better but i also find new bands.

Thank you.

[MihcXtreme]

Fucking awesome.

[solidiquis1]

I personally think that you're better than their new bassist.

[BlokMonster]

I heard he once fingered a girl, but then she was a woman.

[UmadLoL]

I agree with Lack of Comprehension.

[JmoROCKpants]

You are a god. Hope you know. Necrophagist cover?

[PanzerTank521]

Is "Lack of Comprehension" by Death a possibility for you, because that would be so boss.

[GUSVITOR]

fucking amazng man!!!! you are the best...

[Senzor364]

by chance could you make a video on how you record and edit?

[CannibalisticZombie]

@Senzor364 nope. its a secret

[VIKINGBASSHAMMER]

@CannibalisticZombie kinda like the post you make every video saying you do not tabs for each song, though it seems there is always that one illiterate guy who somehow pieces what little words he knows in the english language to formulate the sentence begging for tabs

[AscendancyXx]

@CannibalisticZombie Use Audacity or Cockos Reaper

[nycbassist76]

@CannibalisticZombie looks like FL studio haha...only guitarist keep secrets bassist share knowledge:P

[Senzor364]

@Senzor364 ....bawls

[alpedistas1]

@Senzor364 i know the secret, he use a strange satanic ritual for do it

[aboothby]

@Senzor364 From the looks of it he plugs his bass guitar into an audio interface which hooks up via USB to his laptop and records into some software and uses a bass emulator.

[HailAtheism]

436 to 0 in likes to dislikes speaks its clear language.

Hail to awesome bass guitar skills!

[novembre8211]

You just keep getting better and better. Props to you sir :)

[tarikay93]

Sick! This is madness!

[SiberianGaming]

When I listen to this, I never watch the video, but minimize the video and listen to it as I'm just listening to the MP3. Simply, I forgot that this was NOT the MP3 from the CD. Absolutely impressed. Great job.

[paulkiss1981]

Just impressive.

[DeadMumakil]

Thesseling would be proud of you!

[yoshiheavy]

very nice cover. what kind of equipment do you use for this recording?

[xmayhemxenv]

Nailed it again bro! I Love that bass too.

[rapkorrwebsterharris]

you´re so crazy .... lml ....

[jooodsdssdd]

CMON GUYS, 1000 LIKES WITHOUT ANY DISLIKE!

[Damythxful]

First song when I see some effort on your face. How so?

[alexondrums]

I love the part when you raped the bass.

[Tetramor4]

Hey, what if you do cover on the Michael Manring-selene?

[CannibalisticZombie]

@Tetramor4 in order for me to do that i would have to have his signature bass.

[Death66reaper6]

@CannibalisticZombie then get his signature bass.

[wagsbass]

Beautiful both the cover & the tone

[AjaxTheYeti]

dude, this video is nothing short of awesome!! great job!!!

[ThoughtPatternss]

Just curious, are you considering doing any more SoP covers?

[CannibalisticZombie]

@ThoughtPatternss yes, im working on a few right now.

[Weetodd1000]

amazing job at covering one of my favorite songs!!! How long have you been playing and have you ever had lessons on playing bass in the past or are you self-taught?

[zerthor]

What program are you using to record yourself?

[daltonplaysthesax]

such a good song... such a good job on this song... amazing

[Crazymark1]

I love the evil claw that your hand becomes when you do octave chords on fretless bass

[Dompropat]

Damn dude, you've got quite the home studio behind you.

[CannibalisticZombie]

@Dompropat i guess, if you count a couple of speakers, my computer and a few guitars as a home studio haha.

[GallopingPints]

Guitar Rig, amirite? Maybe you could give me some tips on getting good bass sound, like on your phobophile vid?

[CannibalisticZombie]

@GallopingPints my Sansamp and Guitar rig was used to get the tone in the Phobofile video, there where so many different settings that i had to adjust i dont remember what i had them at. it was partially the bass too that gave me that tone but really what i go for is boosting the mids and have a bit of treble. the lower frequencies are usually set flat. but i guess what ever sounds good to you, use it. thats what i do.

[Infin1tas]

this is fucking sick :D Playing necrophagist on electric looks fucking easy in comparison to this :x

[JamaicaPunk1]

you have no idea how much i was waiting to se this... great job!

[ShadeMetal1005]

ur bass genius! how can u do tat finger magic???

[nilewow]

What made you decide to start playing bass in the first place? I've tried learning instruments but I can never get in the mood to just sit down and practice over and over. What approach did you take?

[CannibalisticZombie]

@nilewow my brother inspired me. i use to play it just for fun because i had nothing better to do with my time. never really took it seriously.

[alexondrums]

650 VIEWS SEEMS KINDA SLIM, BROKE THAT SHIT?

[cdav4czar]

Just awesome. Really inspirational, man. I need to listen to that album more too.

[Alejandro4891]

good shit man, this is inspiring despite me not being a bassist.

[Trevorkrauser]

i can fap to this... easyly

[SomethingWild9608]

Dude, you could've easily been the replacement when Jeroen left. Great work as always!

[ThoughtPatternss]

302 views, 311 likes. Nice.

[Sm1thers1boy]

YESSSS!!!!!

[TheMD93]

First, wanna say great vid and great channel. I stumbled upon you a while back and though "my god this guy is freaking amazing." Second, have you ever raised the action on any of your basses? I just got a Schecter bass and wanna see if it's normal to do that.

[CannibalisticZombie]

@TheMD93 thank you! iv adjusted the action on just about all of my basses because i have them all set for different tunings.

[DrEviscerator666]

Getting Older Man!

[666deadnightreaper]

good job bro (;

[Ironclaw666]

Great sound quality man, loving this one!

[SpiritualHealing1349]

your computer seems to be defying physics! awesome playing as always

[ProPipesCodClan]

nice choice!

[LyricsArFun]

awesome man!

[bocha17]

nice motorola :D

[CannibalisticZombie]

@bocha17 had the same phone for 5 years. im surprised it made it this long. 

[glacier2win]

You're fucking awesome.

[theycalledmebob]

holy hell i gotta get that new obscura album

[voidismatter]

it seems as if the bass sometimes plays something completely different from the guitar parts, how the hell do you figure all that out.

Or maybe Im just retarded.

[2scrimble9]

Ahh man A.J how can you always find the awesome basses! That tone is friggin sick!

[CannibalisticZombie]

@2scrimble9 thanks! i spent a long time finding this tone, im happy with it.

[2scrimble9]

@CannibalisticZombie Mind also telling me what strings are you using and hows ur EQ?

[CannibalisticZombie]

@2scrimble9 The strings are D'addarios, still the same ones that where on the bass when i got it. there are to many things contributing to my EQ to actually explain it on here.

[2scrimble9]

@CannibalisticZombie Okay

[voidismatter]

O.

i like.

[Technostiel]

you're the best bassplayer i've ever seen!

[blackheart103]

Best song ever



[Nick4764]

nice man, that was a fucking awesome cover

[BozKiller]

haha, the video capture is not fast enough for your right hand movements ;)

[FleshStarvingBass]

Warwick Thumb BO 6 string? Gratz!!

[Gigadrane]

You play the bass so awesomely with those big hands bassist usually developed you should never slap a girls ass, at least during sex because you'll either kill her or give the worst spanking of her life.

[chizzerz]

mate this is fucking fantastic!! have you thought about doing a video covering some blues or jazz music? I play bass too and love to mess about with other styles.

[Crash6351]

THANK YOU.

[fabioavenger7x]

THIS IS THE STUFF!

[dch528]

You are a virtuoso! Decresent is badass! You're covers are inspirational and well done! Keep that shit up!

[TheZombieXecutioner]

I was hoping you would do this one!

[MechaShredZilla]

dude this shit tears nice job

[maxx666mayhem]

awesome man...

[harimauvortex]

ive been hunting for a septuagint bass cover for so long. now i can die happily hehe. very nice one bro. you inspired me to pick up the bass. hope to see more obscura cover from you.

[emiliowildhorses]

excellent!

[bloodwrage]

I'm going to see them Saturday. Really hope this new guy can live up to Thesseling. I don't think he's going to be able to beat CannibalisiticZombie, though.

[MikeAsHimself]

@bloodwrage He left? >.<
